Re: Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto

I have serious differences with pre-1971 Bhutto, but the post-1971 Bhutto did a great job. He was certainly someone that the entire nation looked up to. Given the severity of the circumstance, Simla Pact was a great achievement that could be inscribed to him. 1973’s constitution was almost a miracle for a demoralized and divided nation. Internationally speaking, I do not see anyone matching up to his stature in his time. He did his part of mistakes, but still he was someone who had vision, ability to dream and power to actualize them. He had charisma, caliber and capacity that no one ever had after him. And that’s why it pains me a lot when some Jiyalas compare him with a jester who ended up at a position which he would never deserve even if he is reborn a thousand times.

While Bhutto was a visionary and a true leader, his legacy unfortunately turned out to be colossal failure. They are just cashing in on the charm and respect their party’s founder still enjoys, but actually not justifying their affiliation with ZAB. Their Bhuttoism is detrimental to the country and I am sure even ZAB’s soul would be cursing them for what they are doing to his people in him name.

May his soul rest in peace.

A well thought out and mature post. :k:
